Had a few dishes between us. Crab roll was ok but crab was very wet and felt that it was mixed with poor quality mayonnaise. Seafood Thai red curry was tasty enough but could do with a little more oomph. With all the local seafood available it was sad to see it was frozen used in the curry.

Great location but for the money it feels a bit like eating in a canteen with self service everything including clearing tables. Loads of people around which gives it a nice buzz.

Food has sadly lost a bit of the quality since our last visit.

Fantastic, fresh and tasty sea food served with a beautiful coastal background. Perfect place to enjoy an al fresco summer lunch.

The oysters and scallops were delicious.

Prawn cocktail, very different from a classic prawn cocktail but I loved it. The plain tortillas very bland though.

Wider selection of wine would improve the offering the further and elevate the experience.

We stopped here after a walk from Devil's Hole. Lovely lobster roll in a beautiful setting by the beach. Highly recommended.

Such an amazing spot with a lovely view over the beach. We were so glad we ended our hike here. The food was fantastic, especially the crab sandwich. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered another one straight away.

Found a absolute beauty of a spot on the secluded beach! The food, service and atmosphere is amazing! Fresh seafood caught from literally where you are sat! Fresh oyster bar, and the prawns are to die for!! We have eaten at many places during our 4 day stay and food is our thing, we ate at the quayside restaurant in St helliers last night and I'm telling you we got the prawns and chorizo starter there and quite frankly found it overpriced, flavourless and quite frankly disappointing. With a total of 3 smaller than expected prawns and 3slices of chorizo for £15.95, and then discovering this gem of a place and ordering the prawns and getting a satisfying portion and an absolute flavour bomb we couldn't recommend this place any more!
